wherein

the frame has a joint sleeve that is disposed on the frame and is slidingly movable from a first extended position where the joint sleeve engages the frame to hold the lens in place, to a second retracted position where the joint sleeve does not engage the frame in a manner that can hold the lens in place.

2. Eyewear comprising:

a frame having at least one orbital;

a lens releasably received in the orbital of the frame;

wherein

the orbital has an upper brow portion and a lower cheek portion, the upper brow portion having a first end portion at the outer lateral portion of the frame where the brow portion is joined to the temple arm, and the lower cheek portion has a second joint portion at the outer lateral portion of the frame, with the first end portion and the second joint portion being formed with corresponding recesses and protrusions that interlock with each other when the first end portion and the second joint portion are joined by a joint sleeve that engages both the first end portion and the second joint portion, and

where the joint sleeve is disposed on the frame and is slidingly movable from a first extended position where the joint sleeve engages the first end portion and the second joint portion such that the second joint portion interlocks with the first end portion, to a second retracted position where the joint sleeve releases one of the first end portion and the second joint portion and allows for the first and portion and the second joint portion to be moved away from each other.

3. The eyewear of claim 2, wherein:

the joint sleeve has a first abutting surface, and the temple arm has a second abutting surface and the first and second abutting surfaces engage each other when the joint sleeve is in the extended position, and the temple arm is an extended state.
